Hi.
I've just installed my 7800GT today, and it is awesome. However, I'm kinda worried that I'm not getting 100% from it. Is it at all possible my processor is bottlenecking the rest of my system? It's an Athlon 64 3700 (San Diego) in case you can't see my signature.
Thanks.

Nope, the 3700+ is a great processor, and a perfect match for that GT.
-Happy Gaming-

I have a 7800GT and an Athlon 3700+ and I have no problems with running any game(except EQ2) on highest settings. | |

Make sure ur ram is properly installed as well as have two of the same pc3200's for example, one guy had a 333 ram and a 400 ram and his fps in bf2 were 20, but the second he took it off 70-90fps..... | |

3700+ Is a fine processor. If ever in doubt, it also OC's nicely
